Lily left angrily.
Lacey began to interrogate Zeke once Lily left. “Can you please explain to me what exactly is going Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
on?”
She was almost certain because she had a strong instinct that Zeke was the mastermind behind the
scheme.
Zeke replied half-heartedly, “You should ask Lily. Perhaps they have finally realized what they did was
wrong and decided to atone for their sin.”
“Let's go, honey. It's time to sleep.”
Zeke yawned over and over again as he made his way into Lacey's room.
Lacey got worked up all of a sudden. “Zeke! Who told you anything about spending the night in my
room? Go spend the night on the couch!”
Hannah glared at Daniel immediately. “Daniel, I'm afraid you'll have to spend another night on the
couch.”
“Yes, Madam!”
Lacey was speechless.
Dad! Mom! That's too much! Stop bullying your daughter!
Lacey was irritated as she made her way back to her room.
She saw Zeke, who was on his phone on her bed, the moment she entered her room.
“The floor!” shouted Lacey.
Zeke heaved a helpless sigh but did as instructed, nevertheless.
Lacey looked at Zeke with a complicated expression on her face, “Zeke, is Uncle Jeremy up to
something? Why did he decide to return the steel mill to me all of a sudden?”
Zeke smiled when he heard her words.
Exactly what I expect from a female entrepreneur who built everything from scratch! He's indeed up to
something.
Zeke reassured her, “Don't worry. Just take it over as requested. They won't be able to harm you as
long as I'm by your side. They are not a threat to me at all.”
Lacey massaged her temples. “Should I believe you?”
Daniel, who was in the living room, returned to his room with his pillow once Lacey returned to her
room.
He was surprised the moment he stepped into his room because Hannah was crying all alone.
Daniel asked curiously, “My dear, why are you crying?”
Hannah expressed how she felt, “Sigh... Ever since I have gotten married to you, we have always been
bullied by your brother and his family.”
“I can't hold back my emotions. Never would I have thought that Jeremy and his family would apologize
to us and admit their mistake.”
Daniel apologized with a look of guilt, “I'm so sorry, my dear. You must have had it rough ever since you
got married to me.”
Suddenly, Hannah asked, “Daniel, could it be... I mean, it seems like Zeke was the one behind what
happened, right?”
Daniel nodded, “You're right. It seems like that's the case.”
Hannah went on, “I feel like Zeke isn't an ordinary man. Perhaps he has another identity.”
“But I can't figure out why he's constantly trying to court Lacey...”
Daniel pondered, “We can't be sure what he's up to. We should proceed with caution.”
Hannah replied, “I don't think Zeke is up to no good... I don't care! He will be my son-in-law!”
The two mumbling pairs finally fell asleep after the end of the conversation they had.
The next day morning, Lacey was roused from a deep sleep by Lily's call.
The latter urged her to rush over to the steel mill and take it over as soon as possible.
Lacey agreed immediately as she had been waiting for it throughout the night. “Alright! I'll be there...”
Suddenly, Zeke interrupted their conversation. “Get your grandfather to return the legal title to us, or
else let's forget about it.”
Lily hesitated for a while before she brought herself to reply, “Fine!”
Lacey was about to rush over to the steel mill right after she hung up the call.
Zeke got in his way and told her, “I'll go with you.”
Lacey nodded and replied, “Sure! Go get ready then, we'll depart soon.”
Zeke took his time washing himself up.
Lacey was anxious because he decided to have his breakfast right after he washed himself up.
She urged him repetitively because she was frantic with worry.
Zeke took his sweet time as he enjoyed his breakfast. “Lacey, they're the ones who are trying to beg
us. Don't worry.”
“But...” Lacey tried to explain herself again.
“Have you forgotten how your beloved Uncle Jeremy treated you and your family back in the day?”
